Removing books from main menu
Q:
I imported a collection. Now I see a lot of books on the main page. How can I remove unwanted entries?A:
To prevent the display of books on the main page you need to modify the Content Descriptor file of the collection you imported. Let's assume the collection is named bigCollection. Open the file ContentDescr_bigCollection.properties which can be found in the collection directory. Inside the file you see lines similar to
2 lines always define one book to be presented on the main page.If you want to remove one of this books simply comment out the lines by putting #
at the beginning.
After a restart of ActiveMath the book isn't shown in the main page anymore.

No changes after Content Descriptor modification
Q:
I modified the content descriptor of a collection, restarted ActiveMath but my changes don't appear on the mainmenu page. Why?A:
You either have Windows as operating system or you didn't create a symbolic link to the Content Descriptor file, but copied it in.
If this is true, you have to copy the content descriptor file to
directory after
any modification.
Restart ActiveMath after copying to see your changes
